Atelier Oï

Switzerland

Atelier Oï was founded in 1991 in La Neuveville, Switzer­land, by Aurel Aebi, Armand Louis and Patrick Reymond. The three founders are architects/​designers and members of the Swiss Feder­a­tion of Archi­tects FAS as well as of the Swiss Feder­a­tion of Inte­rior Architects/​Designers VSI.ASAI. Atelier Oï has been striv­ing to dissolve barri­ers between genres and foster cross-disci­pli­nary creativ­ity for 20 years. Over the course of their achieve­ments, archi­tec­ture, design and set design have inter­twined on an inter­na­tional scale. Multi­dis­ci­pli­nar­ity, team spirit, and an inti­mate rapport with the mate­r­ial are their watch­words. Born of an intu­itive and emotional affin­ity with the act of shaping differ­ent mate­ri­als, their projects have been received consid­er­able recog­ni­tion – Europan 3, 1994; Euro­pean Museum of the Year Award, 2001; iF Design Award, 2012; Living at Home Award, 2007; Product of the Year, Archi­tec­tural Record, 2008. Between exper­i­men­ta­tion, cultural exchanges and events devoted to their creations, they have designed for Wogg, Roeth­lis­berger, USM, B&B Italia, Foscarini, Bulgari, Bréguet, Swatch and Louis Vuitton.
